A list of all the recipes Vicki Lionberger has tested.
Peruvian Roast Chicken
This anything-but-boring bird borrows its Peruvian accent from a technicolor dream coat of paprika, lemon, garlic, and cumin.
Coconut Cake
Flaunting an always-stunning, goes-with-anything white, this coconut cake glams up dinner parties, bridal showers, weddings, birthdays, and Tuesday nights.
Lamb Burger ~ Bifteki Arniou
Definitely a nonconformist, this beauty of a burger melds lamb, pork, grilled onion, mustard, parsley, dill, fennel, cumin, lemon, and scallion. We dare you.
Spicy Sriracha Chicken Wings
These Sriracha chicken wings are super enticing despite being super spicy—or is it precisely because they’re super spicy?
Strawberry Ice Cream
The tempered sweetness of this spectacular strawberry ice cream relies on in-season strawberries rather than obscene amounts of sugar for flavor.
Roast Chicken with Pancetta and Olives
“One of the best chicken recipes ever!” “Crisp-skinned.” “Juicy.” “Aromatic.” “Easy.” “Gorgeous.” “Heavenly.” That’s what we’re hearing from folks who’ve tried it.
Cinnamon Pecan Blondies
Chewy, buttery, and teeming with toffee flavor, these are a sophisticated take on those made-from-a-box blondies you scarfed down with your carton of milk in the school cafeteria.
Bite-Size Bacon and Cheese Scones
Cute as a button, and not much bigger, these buttery, bacony scones are the most diminutive and darned good biscuits we’ve had in recent memory. Maybe ever.
Baked Asparagus with Parmesan and Balsamic Vinegar
These spring spears, buried beneath a behemoth of Parmesan, is making converts of even the most reticent veggie eaters.
